I think that the labels are wrong: it is a Sphaenothecus...

Thanks Francesco. The label is clearly wrong...and it is a Neotropical Trachyderini.

It has 12 segment antennae, so it is a male. Antennae are much shorter that S. bilineatus (Gory, 1831) and metafemora do not reach elytral apex.

So, it is the recently described Sphaenothecus vandenberghei Wappes & Santos-Silva, 2020.
